Deanston Recharred Hogshead 2013 – Sigle Cask Release 2021
Description
The Deanston 2013 Hogshead whisky is a special selection made by the blending team for the Winter 2021 single cask release. It’s a classic Deanston matured in a recharred hogshead. This extremely limited release showcases the best of bourbon wood’s influence on the spirit, enhanced by a spicy festive hint.
The whisky’s aroma profile is enticingly fresh, featuring green apples with pears, tropical fruit, vanilla, nectar, and hints of sweet oak. These aromas set the stage for the complex flavours that follow.
On the palate, the whisky is sweet and malty, offering a creamy hint of milk chocolate, ginger, buttered pastry, and apple jelly bean. The finish is unmistakably Deanston – smooth and lingering, with notes of honey, herbal elements, and cinnamon spice. This combination makes for an engaging and memorable tasting experience.
